Speaking of Case and the Emmys has anyone notice (with the exception of this year) the lack of recognition that goes to the actresses who play heroines? It's like if you play a "good" character on a soap, you can forget about real recognition (unless you're Erika Slezak). Again, not counting this year's fluke of nominations. Just a thought.

Anyway I do think Case has been doing some of the best work of her career, I'm enjoying her tremendously.

I agree and they both play so well off of one another.

NOOO! Chloe needs a friend and that's Amber.

Plus. didn't she say or was it Nelson, that she was the future of Y&R?

No, they suffer because most of the other's lack of acting skills.

EOB is a good actress if they give her something therefore she does put those other 3 to shame but since she doesn't really have an identity outside of Kevin sadly, she wouldn't be missed if they were to write her off.

Why do you say that? I mean, historically I thought they were Zzzzzzzzz. But today, specifically, I thought their kiss was actually quite interesting.

I don't remember that. I thought, years ago, Brad said Amber was the future of B&B. If so, that worked out real well....

Those pictures of nu-Adam were interesting. Way-to-go Errol for getting pics within 24 hours!!!!!!!!

He gives off an angry intensity in those pics...but not the cuteness. Oh well, that's okay. I think he may work well for this new "perverse" and "twisted" villainous Adam.

JM seems to admire MS (understandable), maybe she is comfortable with the fact that he looks upto her and it affects her performances with him. What-ever it is I'm glad it has seemed to stop and MS is back as the real Phyllis in so many ways.

SC has been incredible this year.

He looks good. It's kind of weird the way this all happened practically overnight though. Y&R had to have been having problems with CE for awhile. I wonder if they were going to fire him if he didn't break his contact, since it seems like they had MM waiting iin the wings.

Me too. That would be such bad taste.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
